Default Today's word puzzle (OT?)

Strangest experience.

Just before waking up this morning I "visiualized" a word. It appeared
a letter at a time until it was entirely formed- sort of lilke a guy
painting a sign.

The word: Assilite

It doesn't appear to exist in English, but I find references to it in
French, Italian, and Latin. Probelm is, it googles up in the middle of
a phrase written in French, Italian, or Latin.

Aside from my first guess, "sounds like a somebody having a portion of
their anatomy on fire" haven't got a clue.......

Thought somebody in this group might know, as we have a Canadian who
may know something about French and some highly educated types who may
know Latin.

Fairly sure it must be OT, unless it turns out to be some foreign term
pertaining to boating. :-)

Weird word.

A possible flashback to a youthful experience with a lighter and dark
room full of friends?

I think it is a engineered granite counter top that was in one of the
boat links in rec.boats. You have spelled it in correctly, but it was
mfg'ered in Aussie and used through the boat. But I could be wrong.

I could be wrong, but I very rarely am.

Discovered that in Latin in means "(all of you), Go!"

In French it apparently means "to jump up upon"

Wonder if it has any linguistic relationship to assault or assail?

Strange, anyway. :-)
